• two-layer toilet paper;
• thread or stationery gum;
• capacity - container, transparent glass or jar;
• water;
• tweezers;
• stationery knife;
• ruler.

To perform the procedure you need:

• put a film on the table;
• cut it into strips of a length not exceeding 50 cm and a width not exceeding 10 cm;
• cut toilet paper on the canvas of the same size, and everything must be done in duplicate;
• lay the paper on a cellophane substrate;
• moisten paper with water using a spray bottle, a syringe or syringe;
• a step of 1-1.5 cm from the edge of the tape;
• lay out seed material using tweezers only on 1 side of the rim with a distance of not less than 5 cm between the seeds.

Next, the bed should be covered with a layer of paper, to moisten in the same way, cover with polyethylene. The prepared "sandwich" gently twists into a loose roll, as with the tightness to grow good sprouts will not work. The roll must be fixed with a rubber band or thread and placed in a container with transparent walls filled with water.

The workpiece must be submerged 2.5 cm in water, and so that the seed row is on top. It is better to use thawed water, which is settled and warmed up, which will allow:

• increase germination;
• feed the roots.

Some add water to improve the result:

• pharmacy hydrogen peroxide - 20 ml per 1 l of water;
• Humat Baikal.

Each roll is placed in a separate container, on which a sticker is pasted, indicating the variety, the date of planting, the number of seeds. The label is arranged so as not to darken the seedlings. The container is necessarily covered with a film, and if it is a container, you can tightly close the lid or place it in a transparent bag so that there is no darkening. For the entry of oxygen, several air vents are made in the form of bulging punctures / holes, using scissors or a knife.
